This was a wonderful historical fiction, set in the 1853 on the Oregon trail Naomi a recent young widow travels with her family to California to start a new life. John who is part Pawnee and part white called a two foot is a mule handler and decides to take this trip and the adventure begins. If anyone like 1883 the prequel to Yellowstone you would like this book. Also some of the characters are based on true people.I will read this author again

AnnR Thanks for posting. That's a thoughtful review. I have this one sitting on my kindle. I think I need to refocus on my tbr in 2024, but the Litsy buddy reads are always so tempting! 1d

The Winter People: A Novel | Jennifer McMahon

Mehso-so

Set in Vermont this is a creepy story with dual time lines from early 1900 to current time, a mystery that unravels a story about a woman and a diary that alters lives in the past and present. It was just ok for me

I really enjoyed getting to know Masie how she started out and all the characters that helped shape her life. So sad all the descriptions of the war and how it changed and effected so many lives including Masies. I will definitely be reading more in this series

This was a epic fantasy you cannot rush through , I took my time to read this massive book of 846 pages
I did enjoy all the different characters but you need to pay attention.the writing was descriptive and the world building was awesome and such diversity was just well done !

The Measure | Nikki Erlick

This was an interesting,thought provoking book and I really enjoyed the writing and the creativity. I was invested in all the characters and their stories ❤️I also liked how the author put a spin on how politics played a big role in this story and I felt like there were messages of how politics can create division under times of uncertainty
Book 1 of #JoysofJune readathon

Fourth Wing | Rebecca Yarros
post image
Pickpick

Fun fantasy different and creative loved the way the author arranged the story.Violet the main character tells you the history and the world building through her voice she recited these facts when she‘s nervous,she has always thought she would be a scribe but trains to be a rider.loved that it was not 1000 pages and there wasn‘t a lot of baseless dialog to fill pages it did read a little more YA then adult but doesn‘t take away from the story ❤️

5feet.of.fury I like the way Violet told the history too. I thought that was neat, instead of the author info dumping 4mo

I have been part reading slump part busy.
I have read Gideon before but the audio is much better, and I wasn‘t going to continue the Nightborn series,and here I am on chapter 14 ,I do like this story , I just am not a fan of the whole vampire thing 🤷🏼‍♀️
26 chapters read for 20in4 hopefully by the end of the day I will get a few more done

Ruthiella The audio by Moira Quirk of all the 9th house books is awesome, I agree. Currently I‘m listening to and reading 5mo
Areader2 @Ruthiella Muir‘s writing is so descriptive I just didn‘t get everything out of the book reading it,so you read Harrow the ninth too ? And you liked it?, I will definitely continue with the audio of this series 5mo
Ruthiella @Areader2 Yes, I‘ve read the first two books. Love the details and the confusion! The books come together by the end, but the first half is always a bit of a mystery. 5mo

#marchmadnessreadathon it‘s been a slower month helping my daughter move but I have been able to do daily challenges reading The Secret History which is in physical book (takes me longer) Donna Tart‘s writing 🙌also reading Things We Never Got Over on my kindle ,working on my bingo fingers crossed for a good finish

Finally got to finish book three, I enjoyed this series, love Diana and Matthew and all the characters,what I like about this series even though it has vampires,witches and demons it has cultural diversity, a historical aspect and a good love story !
#marchmadnessreadathon #marchmadness

DieAReader Great job!🥳🥳🥳 Glad you enjoyed it! This is the last book (I also thought it was trilogy) that I was just recently made aware of. 7mo
Areader2 @DieAReader Times Convert is basically about the making of the vampires and Marcus and Phoebe story, so not sure if I will read it , it‘s not really a continuation of the story, I feel like she will continue the story with Diana and Matthew that I would read🤷🏼‍♀️ 7mo
DieAReader @Areader2 Good to know, ty! If that‘s all it is then I‘ll skip it. Took me way too long to read this series and imo only the last one was worth the read. 7mo
